In their only four meetings on the gridiron, Baylor has held Stephen F. Austin scoreless. The Bears defeated the Jacks 31-0 in 1928, 88-0 in 1929, 33-0 in 1947, and 48-0 in 2011.

The addition of Stephen F. Austin tentatively completes the non-conference portion of the schedule for Baylor in 2019. The Bears are also slated to host UTSA on Sept. 7 and travel to Rice on a new date to be determined.

Baylor’s media guide lists them playing at Rice on Sept. 14. However, since that date was announced, Rice added a game against Texas at NRG Stadium in Houston for the same date.

In Big 12 play in 2019, Baylor is currently scheduled to host Iowa State, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas Tech, and West Virginia and travel to Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, and TCU.

Baylor now has an FCS opponent lined up as the season-opening game for the next five seasons. Future FCS foes for the Bears include Northwestern State (2016), Liberty (2017), Abilene Christian (2018), SFA (2019), and Incarnate Word (2020).

Missing from Baylor’s future schedule listing in their media guide is a home-and-home series against BYU in 2021 and 2022. While some might think it’s due to BYU possibly joining the Big 12, it could also be that no specific dates have been assigned to the series yet.

Another change listed in the media guide is Baylor’s home game against Louisiana Tech in 2022. Originally announced for Sept. 10, Baylor now lists the game as the season-opener on Sept. 3.

I thought the Big 12 was saying teams needed at least 1 P5 level opponent. It’s annoying but understandable that some previously filled slates may be grandfathered, and it wouldn’t be shocking if the Big 12 found BYU to be an acceptable option (both given the general strength of that program, and the fact that other conferences have similar exceptions… some even have crazier ones, considering Army a P5 level opponent, for example), but I don’t think there is any real argument to support UTSA, Rice, or SFA as being P5 level.
